Example: a quick reply
You say

I’ll send the updated draft tomorrow morning.

In your message

I’ll send the updated draft tomorrow morning.

The text lands at the cursor. You review it and send it yourself.

The thought is ready. Typing it out is the part that takes time. Keep your attention on what you want to say.

A quick reply or a longer draft

A reply without the typing

Hold your dictation key, speak and release. The text appears in the field you were using.

Room for a longer thought

Tap the key to start continuous dictation. Text arrives in chunks as you speak; press again to finish. In Chrome, Slack and VS Code the text is added at the end of the field.

Your words and your terms

Text goes in the way you said it, so your wording stays yours. Add names and specialist terms to your dictionary.

Our own speech model

A fine-tuned speech model, on the trial and paid plans

We fine-tuned NVIDIA’s Parakeet on recordings of real Russian and Ukrainian speech with English terms mixed in. Free dictation runs on the standard NVIDIA Parakeet; during the trial and on paid plans it runs on our model.

≈ 1.5×fewer word errors: 27.2 → 17.7 per 100 words
Almost 2×fewer errors in Ukrainian: 35.1 → 19.5 per 100 words
